Probing Interstellar Dust With Space-Based Coronagraphs
N. J. Turner, K. Grogan, J. B. Breckinridge
We show that space-based telescopes such as the proposed Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph will be able to detect the light scattered by the interstellar grains along lines of…
New Debris Disks Around Nearby Main Sequence Stars: Impact on The Direct Detection of Planets
C. Beichman, G. Bryden, K. Stapelfeldt
Using the MIPS instrument on the Spitzer telescope, we have searched for infrared excesses around a sample of 82 stars, mostly F, G, and K main-sequence field stars, along with a s…
Images of Vega Dust Ring at 350 and 450 microns: New Clues to the Trapping of Multiple-Sized Dust Particles in Planetary Resonances
K. A. Marsh, C. D. Dowell, T. Velusamy +2
We have used the SHARC II camera at Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to make 350 and 450 micron images of the Vega dust disk at spatial resolutions (FWHM) of 9.7" and 11.1", respe…
Image of Fomalhaut Dust Ring at 350 Microns: Relative Column Density Map Shows Pericenter-Apocenter Asymmetry
K. A. Marsh, T. Velusamy, C. D. Dowell +2
We have imaged the circumstellar disk of Fomalhaut at 350 microns wavelength, using SHARC II at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. The spatial resolution of the raw images (9 a…
The Size-Frequency Distribution of the Zodiacal Cloud: Evidence from the Solar System Dust Bands
K. Grogan, S. F. Dermott, D. D. Durda
Recent observations of the size-frequency distribution of zodiacal cloud particles obtained from the cratering record on the LDEF satellite (Love and Brownlee 1993) reveal a signif…
Deep 10 and 18 micron Imaging of the HR 4796A Circumstellar Disk: Transient Dust Particles & Tentative Evidence for a Brightness Asymmetry
C. M. Telesco, R. S. Fisher, R. K. Pina +9
We present new 10.8 and 18.2 micron images of HR 4796A, a young A0V star that was recently discovered to have a spectacular, nearly edge-on, circumstellar disk prominent at ~20 mic…
